At first glance, the Thomas Feichtner Fruit Bowl actually looks like a minimalist, industrial stool. But once you look a little closer, you will realize quite readily that it is in fact a dish and not a piece of furniture.
It is precisely this dubious design that makes the Thomas Feichtner Fruit Bowl so unique and interesting. With a sleek and rather futuristic look, it is made for the modern home that is rife with abstract art pieces and statement-making home decor.
The Thomas Feichtner Fruit Bowl is also perfect for the non-traditional types, considering that it is definitely not your typical produce holder. Made out of solid silver, it would contrast perfectly with the colorful and organic fruits that it's purported to hold.
